To will whom, it may crm/cern,.-

Be itknown lthat .1, AMOSB. VHEELER, a citizenof' the United States,residing at Manchester, in the county of' Hartford'and State 'ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useis a specification. 1 Thisinvention relates yto a fixture which is ful Window-Fixture of' whichthef'ollowing designed to be attached to a window-casing for holdingacurtain-pole, a curtain-rod, a

light window-shade, and a dark window-shade.' The object of' theinvention is to provide a.

very simple and'cheap fixture for. this purpose which can be` readily'attached either `to the -front'f'ace or side f'aceof' -awindow-casing.The embodiment ofthe invention that is illustrated. consists of a lightfixture which has anear with holes whereby it may be fastened by screwsto the front face of a vir-indowfl casing, anL offset with holeswherebyfit may be fastened byl screws to the side face of a"window-casing; an arm curvedgto receive-a curtain-pole, lingersextending from the arm for holding a curtain-rod, and a leg with anillustrating a pair of' the fixtures attached to the side faces of .awindow-casing. Fig. 3 is aside elevation of' one fixture, and Fig. 4 isaside elevation of the other fixture.

1t is preferred toY stamp these fixtures out of sheet rr'ietal, such asbrass, so that they will be light; but they may be cast to shape, if'diesired. f

Each fixture has-at the inner end an ear 2,

' which stands at right angles to the main portion of' the fixture andis provided with perforations for the passage of' the screws 3, whichare' used for fastening it to the front face of' a window-casing.Extending outwardly from the ear of each fixture is an off`window-casing.- The arm 7 curves forwardly from vthe upper part ofthe'body in such manner that it will receive and hold an end of acurtain-pole. At theouter end of this arm --are a pair ofupwardly-extending fingers 8, --b etween which anjend of a curtain-rodmayv be placed". The legA 9 extends' downwardly ,andA forwardly'fro'nthe" lower part ofthe- .body. '1` Ijnthe leg of one .fixture is anangular .-m'ortis'e 10' for receiving theangular end of' thesprhigspindle of a shade-roller, and far- ''ther dwja'tld a little infront in the saine leg is anangular niortise 11 for-receiving theangular .end lfoff'ithe' spring-spindle of another Shad,e'rollexa4The'other fixture has a similar "curtainfpol'ef-,arm and curtain-rodlingers; but instead of 'havingiagular mortises f'or the angular ends ofthe spring-.spindles of shade` rollers has round perforations 12 forreceiving the roundends of the fixed spindles of shaderollers. Themorti'ses and perfor-ations for the shaderollers are in differenthorizontal planes, and

they are also `in different vertical planes, so

that a dark shade may be held by the upper mortise and perforation and alight shade maybe held by the lower mortiseand perforation, at the sainetime allowing the darlishade to be drawn down behind the light shade. l

By reason of' the offset sections thesel fixtures may be attached tothev side faces in such manner that the ends of' a pole o r rod or theends of' shade-roller spindles willbe properly supported without comingin -contact'with the" face of the window-casing; These fixtures may beformed to shape` in a cheap manner and theymay be finished in anydesired style.
